if problems were just stones...

by emma-*gemini* - Not entered

if problems were just stones
i would sit on the bank of a river
and toss them in, one by one
but even stones remain on river bottoms
lasting through the tests of time

if happy times were just stars
i would sit in a moonlit field
and give each one a memory
but even stars die;
forgotten after they fall from view

if hopes were just moonbeams
i would look to the sky 
and count on those beams to get me through the night
but even moonbeams fade away
into the reality of daylight

if dreams were just blades of grass
i'd water the lawn that is growing,
thriving in my heart
but even blades of grass get too tall
and must be cut down

Reason for writing:

    i've been staying home sick, and feeling very pessimistic.  e-mail me with feed back if you want
